Upon hearing Liu speak, Liang Shuyan hurriedly suppressed her excitement, opened the door, and came out.

"Mother, what do you like?"

"It's nothing, Mother was just dreaming. By the way, now that your pregnancy is progressing, you shouldn't do any heavy housework."

Liu looked at Liang Shuyan with her eyes and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mother, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to the martial arts school with Erniu."

"Okay, go ahead, but there are a lot of men at the martial arts school. You're Erniu's wife, so you need to be mindful of your status. I don't need to tell you that, do I?"

Liu glanced at her belly and nodded: "Mother, I understand."

In the courtyard, Zhao Heng was using a hammer to crack open an apricot pit. The pit was round and plump, and it was easy to miss if you weren't careful. He actually used two fingers to hold it and then crack it. Liang Shuyan walked over and was surprised to find that his fingers had turned blue. She immediately frowned.

"Doesn't your finger hurt from cracking apricot pits like that?"

Zhao Heng shook his head: "No, I'll be careful, the hammer won't hit my hand."

Liang Shuyan glanced at Jin Dashan and found that he was easy to knock on. He found a wooden stump with a crack in the middle, and he wedged the apricot pit in the middle and smashed it open with a hammer.

"You have a good trick, why didn't you tell Zhao Heng? Didn't you see how Zhao Heng cracked the apricot pit?"

Da Shan then looked up and chuckled, "Zhao Heng, such a clever person would actually be willing to ruin his own hand?"

Liang Shuyan picked up the hammer, found a stone with a small indentation, just big enough to hold the apricot pit. She picked up the hammer, gently tapped it, and the apricot pit cracked open.

"See? If you smash it like this, you're less likely to hit your hand. And if the apricot pit stands upright, it's easier to smash, and the apricot kernel is less likely to get hurt!"

Zhao Heng scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Oh, I see, Auntie!"

Ruyan was holding a wooden stick and tapping some soil around the roots of the chili pepper. Being a young woman, she was very meticulous in her work, even carefully cleaning the roots of the chili pepper.

The wheat in the field couldn't be stopped. Liang Shuyan wanted Grandma Liu to rest, but Grandma Liu looked up at the sky and said, "Oh dear, the weather seems to be getting bad. Let's harvest the wheat. If it rains, all our hard work this year will be wasted."

Liang Shuyan was deeply moved that Old Lady Liu was so concerned about her family's affairs. She looked at Old Lady Liu and said, "How about this, let's rest for a bit and go get the cut later."

"My dear in-laws, are you worried about tiring this old woman out? Hurry up and harvest! When the wheat ripens, we have to snatch the grain from the mouth of the heavens. If we're not careful, a year's hard work will be wasted. Let's go!"

Dashan was a diligent man; he had already sharpened the sickles and placed them on the donkey cart.

Zhao Heng put down the apricot pit, tidied up briefly, and said, "Brother Dashan, shall we still go and haul away the grain?"

"Well, but we don't need to go up the mountain this time. It's all flat road, so there's no rush."

Liang Shuyan couldn't stay idle either. Except for the people from the martial arts school, everyone else went along. Chunyan and Mr. Su from the academy also came with the children.

The wheat in the field was golden, and when the wind blew, it made a rustling sound, which brought a sense of joy to people's eyes.

"Mother, with such good wheat, Auntie's family won't have to worry about going hungry anymore!"

Ruyan walked over, following behind Old Lady Liu as usual. Old Lady Liu laughed and said, "It's not that your aunt's family won't go hungry, we're all family now, so naturally none of us will go hungry!"

Zhang carried some food and drinks and put them on the donkey cart. Dashan and Zhao Heng also came over and stood close to Ruyan and her daughter, wielding sickles to start harvesting.

Mr. Su led the children in the school and instructed them: "Niu Niu, you guys pick up the wheat ears in these stubble fields. We've worked hard all year, we can't waste this little bit of food."

Niu Niu nodded like a leader: "Yes, sir!"

Mr. Su's hometown is in the south, where the grain ripens later. Therefore, he decided to help Liang Shuyan's family harvest their grain. After a while, he would hand over the school affairs to Dashan and Zhao Heng and go home to harvest the grain.

Mr. Su was an experienced harvester; the way he wielded the sickle clearly showed he was a seasoned pro. Liang Shuyan, following behind, smiled and said, "Mr. Su, you're quite the expert! The way you hold the sickle shows you're a seasoned farmer."

"I wouldn't call myself an expert. The wheat ripens relatively late in my hometown, so there's not much work to do at home. My wife takes care of our two grandsons, while my son and daughter-in-law do odd jobs outside."

Thinking about how long Mr. and Mrs. Su had been separated, Liang Shuyan said, "Sir, if you're going home to harvest the grain this time, why don't you let Dashan come with you to help? Afterwards, you can bring your wife to stay for a while. Our conditions here are a bit poor, but the place is still quite spacious."

Mr. Su shook his head: "No need, her two grandsons are still young, she can't leave!"

Liang Shuyan said softly, "Actually, it would be fine to bring your two grandsons over. When you come back from school, you can help your sister-in-law take care of the grandsons. Wouldn't that be great? Once our tea workshop is up and running, we'll use the first money we earn to build a house, a big house. Then you can consider bringing your sister-in-law over to live with us."

Mr. Su didn't know what to say, and said with a red face, "Auntie Dashan, you really are capable. You have both cold noodles and tea business. You make more money than an old man. Compared to you, we old men are really useless!"

Then, the rustling sound gradually disappeared.

Liang Shuyan had never harvested wheat, but she had seen farmers harvesting grain in the countryside and could imitate the general process.

With the addition of Yinxia and Aunt Liu, the wheat field at Lizheng's house suddenly became warm and cozy.

Jiao eagerly brought a bowl of herbal tea and handed it to Aunt Liu: "In-law, don't be in such a hurry. Look at you, you've cut so much at once. Have some herbal tea and rest."

"Yinxia, ​​come, have some tea before you get busy."

Jiao's enthusiasm made Aunt Liu a little embarrassed, and she said, "Oh dear, we're practically family now, there's no need to be so polite. If you're being so polite, I won't dare to come to your house again."

"What are you saying? Jinxia is my daughter-in-law. If you don't come to my house, I won't let my daughter-in-law go back to see you either, to see if you'll come to my house or not."

Aunt Liu sipped her tea and said with a smile, "It seems our two families are destined to be together. I treated you so badly before, I never expected you would agree to this marriage?"

Li Zheng put down his sickle and walked over with a smile: "You two, are you on a blind date?"
